12 Study of Achievement Motivation in Relation to Academic Achievement of Students
Keywords:
Academic Achievement, determinationAbstract
The drive is one of the most crucial components in achieving one's objectives. We call this urge "motivation." In order to succeed in every area of one's life, whether it personal or professional, one must have a certain amount of zeal and dedication, as well as a sense of enthusiasm. A person's motivation might originate from within or outside of themselves. This is something that is left up to the individual. As one ages and matures, the driving forces behind one's behaviour evolve. In addition, achieving a goal sets the stage for the next one to be accomplished. As a result, maintaining one's drive and enthusiasm is an ongoing challenge. It's normal to have periods of low motivation and a general sense of doom. When that happens, they'll have to re-evaluate what it is that gets them going again.
